SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 442,901, dated December 16, 1890.

Application iiled June 28, 1890. Serial No. 357,086. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM Il. LANDERs, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the State of New York, and FRANCIS KERNAN, Jr., of Utica, in the county ot' Oneida, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Heaters, of which the following, taken in connection with the aocompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.

Our invention relates to that class of heaters or stoves in which the air is drawn from the bottom of the room and then returned as heated air or discharged into the chimney; and it has for its object the production ot a cheap, simple, and effective construction in which the movable cover at the top of the heater or stove is utilized as a heat-radiating chamber; and to this end the invention consists, essentially, in a heater-frame, a heatingpassage within said frame having its lower extremity opening to the outside air and its upper extremity opening within the top cover, and a connecting-chamber between said cover and smoke-passage, whereby the air is passed to the outside or to the smoke-passage.

The invention also consists in the detail construction and arrangement of the parts, all as hereinafter more particularly described, and pointed ont in the claims.

In describing this invention reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which like letters indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 represents a vertical sectional view ot our improved heater, with a portion of the circulating-air passage broken away to better illustrate its construction and operation. Fig. 2 is a top plan view, taken on line fr, of the top plate of the stove with its cover removed. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the heating-chamber or swinging` cover mounted above the top plate shown at Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is an enlarged elevation of the connection from the heatingchamber to the outside air and to the smokepassage.

Arepresents the heater or stove, which may be of any desirable form, size, and construction, although here shown as that illustrated in our application of even date herewith for a design patent.

As illustrated, the heater or stove consists of the shell or frame A', preferably substantially rectangular in cross-section and provided with the bottom plate B and top plate O, both of which are of desirable form, size,

of, and adapted to be connected to a suitable pipe, tine, or chimney e for discharging the products of combustion.

F represents the air-passageof our improved invention, having one extremity f connected to the outside of the lower part of the heater and the other extremity f connected to the outside of the upper part of the heater, whereby the air is drawn upward, as shown by arrow 1 at Fig. l, and a circulation produced within the room.

As illustrated, the connection from the pipe F to the outside of the lower partof the stove consists of an opening b in the lower plate B, which opening receives air from the outside ot the heater or stove frame, as shown by the arrow 2 at Fig. l. The connection from the air-passage F to the outside of the upper part of the heater or stove preferably consists of the heating-chamber G and a connection Il, having an opening 7L, discharging into the room, and a passage Ji', forming a continuation of the smoke-passage E, and having its upper extremity h2 adapted to receive the discharge-pipe e.

Upon reference to the drawings it will readily be noted that the air-passage F consists of a pipe, the lower extremity of which is supported in a seat surrounding the opening b, and that this pipe can be readily removed from the frame in order to permit replacement when broken or otherwise injured.

In the construction of heater or stove illustrated the top plate C is provided with an opening c, closed by a suitable cover c,where by fuel may be inserted into the combustion- IOC box, and it will be understood that, as )referably constructed, this air-passage l cxtends through an opening c? in said plate and discharges above the same and said cover, as shown by arrow 3 at Fig. l, in order that the air within the heating-chamber or upper swinging cover G may be uncontaminated by the products of combustion.

As illustrated, the heating-chamber G consists of the ordinaryswinging cover, since a very simple construction is effected thereby without any additional cost ot expense, addition to the weight, or material change in the form of the stove.

Formed in the cover G are openings y, which discharge the heated air into the connection ll, whence, as shown by arrow 4 at Fig. 1, it passes through the opening' 71 to the outside ot' the room. It desired, a suitable pipel (shown in dotted lines at Fig. l) may be placed upon the upwardly-extending shoulder 7L" surrounding the openings l1, and the heated air be conducted, as shown by the dotted arrow 5, to an upper room or register, as may be desired, thereby producing a very desirable form of heating apparatus.

Provided between the passages 7i and t of the connection ll is a suitable gate J, having openingsj, adapted to be moved into or out of registration with openings 7c ina partition K between said openings 7L and 71.

lVhen not desired to pass the heated air within the chamber G into the room, it will be understood that the gate J is actuated so that the passages ,j register with the passages 7s, whereupon, as shown by the dotted arrow 6, the heated air passes upward through the passage h into the smoke-passage and thence to the chimney. On thc contrary, when said openings] and k are out of registration the heated air does not pass into the smoke-passage, but escapes into the room or is conducted to an upper room or register, as previously described.

Upon reference to the drawings and the foregoing description it will be noted that the connecting-passage ll is stationary, and is of such a form as to readily enable the cover G to be swung out of operative position to permit the entrance of fuel.

The parts ot our invention are very simple in construction and operation, and with the exception of the air-passages l, which are preferably formed of wrought-iron, are east as readily and quickly as the parts ofa heater of ordinary construction, and when operatively assembled the entire heater is but imperceptibly more expensive than the ordinary construction thereot', although the same isi'ar more efficient and desirable, owing to the increased circulation or ventilation of air within the room and the increased amount ot its heating capacity.

The operation oi' our invention will be readily perceived troni the foregoing description and upon reference to the drawings, and it will be understood that we do not limit the same to any particular construction of frame, air-passage, or connection of said air-passage to the outside of the frame, since, without departing from the spirit ot our invention, said parts may be somewhat varied from the described construction.

llaving thus fully describedonr invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. lnaheater,the combination,withairame having a top plate U, a heating-passage opening from the outside of said frame and above said plate C,a movable cover above saidplate C and heating-passage, a smoke-passage at one side of said cover, and a stationary connecting-chamber between said movable cover and smoke passage, substantially as described.

2. ln a heater, the combination, with the l'rame and its smoke-passage, ot a heating'- chamber at the upper extremityot` said frame, a heating-passage having one extrelnity connected to the outside of said frame and the other extremity discharging into said heating-chamber for producing a circulation, a eonneeting-chamber between said heatingchamber and smoke-passage, an opening in the latter chamber leading to the outside air, a second opening in the latter chamber leading tothe smoke-passage, and a gate for opening and closing said latter opening, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. In a heater, the combination, with the frame, the top plate C, having an opening therethrough, and cover c', of a heating-passage having its lower extremity connected to the outside of said frame and its upper extremity discharging above said plate, a cover G, having a concaving recess above said plate C, and cover c for forming a heating-chamber, openings in said cover and smoke-passage, and aeonnecting-passagc between said smokepassage and cover.

4.-. In a heater, the combination, with the frame and its sinoke-passage, of the top plate C, its cover c', a heating-passage having its lower extremity opening to the outside of said frame and its upper extremity discharging above said plate, a hollow cover G above the plate C and cover c', a connecting-chamber between said heating-chamber and smokepassage, anv opening in the latter chamber leading to the outside air, a second opening in the latter chamber leading to the smokepassage, and a gate for opening and closing said latter opening, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto signed our names, in the presence of two attesting` witnesses, at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the State of New York, this 20th day of June, 1890.
